You may be asked to provide procedure (CPT) codes, the following can be provided to determine if the codes are valid to be billed and if pre-certification is required:

1) Tell the representative that you are calling regarding physician service benefits for a screening colonoscopy.
Procedure code (CPT): 45378 Diagnosis code (ICD-10): Z12.11 Cost of procedure: $1885.00
Most insurance companies will cover a screening colonoscopy for age 45 and up, but some employer sponsored plans may opt to not cover screening colonoscopies until age 50 and up. Be sure to ask the representative if there are any age restrictions.
The CPT code and cost above is only an estimate for a screening/routine colonoscopy. If a polyp or another condition is found then your procedure and diagnosis codes will change and may result in your colonoscopy becoming diagnostic/medical.

*Specific code is dependent on location of neoplasm.
I understand that the above are estimates only. I understand that I am financially responsible for any remaining balances after insurance pays, and that they must be paid within 10 days. Full payment will be required at the time of pre-op appointment if this form is not completed in its ENTIRETY.
